Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Quilting Adventures is a pick-your-own-style quilt book featuring 30+ quilt blocks, 8 quilt top layout formulas, and all the math done for you so you can focus on creating your own design!

This design-it-yourself quilt book puts the quilter in the driver's seat, empowering you to decide what size, layout, and combinations of blocks you want to use to create your own one-of-a-kind quilt. Unlike a traditional book of quilt patterns, Quilting Adventures does not prescribe a design. Instead, it gives you a range of block options that all work together so that you can pick and choose, mix, and match those blocks to create your own unique design.

The book encourages and supports you as you explore designing your own pattern, providing all the tedious legwork (a.k.a. the math) so that you can focus on creating a final design that is entirely your own. Additionally, there is a suite of pre-designed patterns as inspiration for anyone who prefers a little extra structure to start.

Quilting Adventures includes:

  • 30+ modern quilt block designs
  • 8 quilt top layout formulas
  • 9 patterns you can follow or use to help inspire your own design
  • All the math & worksheets you need to get started
  • Instructions that are easy to follow for beginners and advanced beginners

Whether you're a beginning quilter or an experienced maker looking for a fun, new challenge, Quilting Adventures will give you the confidence to create beautiful, modern quilts that are uniquely your own.

At the centre of that vision was Noel Crombie—percussionist, performer and the...
